Freddie Prinze Jr., star of movies that seem to always air on cable at weird hours, decided it was high time to tell us all about his terrible, career-upending experience of working with Kiefer Sutherland on season eight of 24. "Kiefer was the most unprofessional dude in the world. That's not me talking trash, I'd say it to his face, I think everyone that's worked with him has said that," Prinze told ABC News.

Nice guy Diddy is buying a model some new hair. Lil Wayne will do anything for love. Prince William and Kate Middleton spent Christmas apart. Does Courtney Cox really want David Arquette back? Post-Christmas Gossip Roundup is feeling generous.

On Psych, Freddie Prinze, Jr. guest starred as a uber-geek with a secret nerd cave, original Star Trek prop collection, and an expertise in alien sightings. Oh, and a hot wife that has no clue about any of it.

Lest you think that Jack Bauer is some kind of sexist, going around torturing only male terrorists to get vital intel, here's some proof to the contrary. Bonus: Freddie Prinze Jr. encouraging Chloe to let Jack do his thing.

Ah, the Nineties. The time when Freddie Prinze Jr. was king of all he surveyed and Rachael Leigh Cook was America's sweetheart. Before Usher had "Yeah" we had She's All That, a charming teen spin on Bernard Shaw's play, "Pygmalion."

• Mischa Barton went to see "Tosca" at the Metropolitan Opera the other night. Naturally, when she showed up and saw a red carpet, she started walking it... until she realized it was for the screening of Michael Moore's new documentary at Alice Tully Hall.

• It looks like mischief runs in the family. Martha's daughter Alexis has been forced to pay $990,000 in back taxes and a $110,000 fine to the IRS, although she's blaming her accountant for the "mix-up." [NYP]
• Casey Greenfield gave birth to a baby boy the other day, but she still isn't saying who the father might be. [P6]

His awards hopes dashed, Mickey Rourke could still change his mind about WrestleMania, showing up to battle Oscar the Barbarian—a 7'2" bald giant in gold bodypaint, whose signature move is the Jean Herscholt Humanitarian Piledriver.

Our crystal ball is known to break down occasionally, but rarely does a movie undercut our box-office guesses by more than 60%. And then came Delgo, whose implosion last weekend is truly, historically unprecedented.

· If just about everything in Hollywood devolves into a dick-measuring contest, why should art collecting be any different? The LA Weekly's Nikki Finke looks at erstwhile superagent Mike Ovitz's attempts to have the biggest dick in town.

Let's get one thing straight: No matter how ABC decides to sell its back-to-back "Latin hour" programming block of The George Lopez Show and Freddie, Lopez's hacky Mexican jokes and Prinze's housecoat-wearing, voodoo-Catholic grandmother stereotype should be judged unfunny on their own merits:

A reader sent along this passage from ABC's preview page for Fall sitcom Freddie (which, unfortunately, has no unfortunately timed connections to hurricanes, leaving its premiere date unaffected), noting the interesting assertion in the last sentence (emphasis ours):

Despite having received a very public, strongly worded letter from Scary Hollywood Lawyer Bert Fields not too long ago, Page Six is stirring up some pretty entertaining shit with William Morris again. Who loves a feud? That's right: everyone.
